Understand your attachment style. Heal your relationships. What if we grew up learning how to love a certain way that caused us to be attached to people, but due to our attachment style, we self-sabotaged the relationships we cherished the most? Your attachment style — anxious, avoidant, secure, or disorganized — shapes how you love, fight, cling, and pull away. Between Us: Attachment combines private journaling with AI-powered reflection to help you identify your patterns and, with time, change them. What's inside: Journal — private writing, encrypted in transit and at rest. Your words are never shared or used to train AI. AI Reflections — after each entry, understand the attachment style, emotional tone, recurring themes, and a self-awareness score. Insights — a 30-day view of how your attachment patterns are shifting. Growth is slow; now you can actually see it. Healing Exercises — short, targeted practices matched to where you are today. A five-minute self-soothing for anxious moments. A "stay a little longer" prompt for avoidant ones. Bridge Mode (opt-in) — share the emotional weather of your inner world with a partner - whether that's a family member, partner, friend, or anyone important to you, never the words themselves. Climate snapshots, a daily sync score, and full control to disconnect at any time. The Lake — cast a thought into a shared, anonymous space when it's too heavy to sit with alone. Tagged by attachment style. No names. No replies. Faith Lens - understand your analysis through your faith.* Why it's different: Most journaling apps give you a blank page. Most therapy apps hand you a workbook. Between Us sits between the two — pairing attachment theory with private journaling and AI-assisted reflection so you can work on the specific patterns that affect your closest relationships. Your privacy, fully protected Your entries are yours alone. They are never shared with a partner (even in Bridge Mode), never seen by the Between Us team, and never used to train AI models. Pricing: Free to start — includes 3 AI reflections, 1 Lake post, and 1 healing exercise per day. Between Us Pro ($12.99/month or $79.99/year) unlocks unlimited reflections and exercises, full Insights, Bridge Mode, and unlimited Lake posts. Cancel anytime through your Apple ID settings. Between Us: Attachment is a journaling companion for self-reflection. It is not a medical device and is not a substitute for professional therapy. If you are in crisis, please contact a licensed mental-health professional or your local crisis line. Terms of Use: https://betweenusattachment.com/terms/ * Faith lens is currently available for Christian and Islam. We look to add more faiths in the near future.
